Maybe start appropriately quoting what you are responding to previous to responding so your statements look like they aren't non-sequitors then? The post you were responding to was about Reecius and jy2's video.

Okay. Longer answer so you understand what I say:
There might be company owners like Reecius and others who can afford a FW 500$ model, but even they say that allowing those for standard games is stupid. And when ClockworkZion says that it's your own fault if you don't field something to counter a 500$ FW model in casual gaming, I reminded him that the target customer is a teen who can't afford a 500$ Forge World model, and even if he could it would be a stupid game. Clear now?

GW should just like...make it optional or something. Or maybe...bare with me here, but *maybe*... the unwritten social contract between players would prevent them from bringing super-heavies against someone who wasn't prepared?

It seems to me that you're bending over backwards here to attack an *optional* add-on. You can bash it for being almost identical to Apocolypse if that makes you feel any better, but bashing it for creating inbalances just does not make sense, when playing with it is optional.

CZ didn't say that. He said that it was an unbalanced game. Nothing about your fault or casual gaming. He was talking about the Reecius vs jy2 game. You're the one who keeps trying to twist it to fit your agenda.

As the magazine I on sale we can lock this.
